Orange and ZTE have a pleasant surprise for all the Orange San Francisco (aka ZTE Blade) owners out the there. The Taiwanese handset maker and the France Telecom-owned operator will release the Android 2.2 Froyo update for the popular device which is available for 99 GBP (plus a 20 GBP top-up) on Pay as you go. The new firmware version is set to be launched in the “last week of June” which means the San Francisco users can get it as early as next week, maybe even during the weekend.
As you probably know, Froyo adds a ton of new features, including Microsoft Exchange support, improved web browsing experience, Adobe Flash and a number of other changes under the hood that will ultimately make your phone run faster. Needless to say, we advise you to hit the “Update” button the second you see a new software version is available…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
